SortedList

[Morgs Morgan]

Hi guys does anyone know how to check if a sortedlist is empty or not? I tried using the 'capacity' and keys|values 'count' property but none work Anyone with a different approach? help Morg

Capacity won't tell you if it's empty or not (if it's 0 then it's empty, but it could be empty and > 0). Count should - what doesn't work about it?

Use the Count property:

        SortedList<int, string> sl = new SortedList<int, string>();
        sl.Add(4, "four");
        sl.Add(3, "three");
        MessageBox.Show(sl.Count.ToString());

Gives "2".

        SortedList<int, string> sl = new SortedList<int, string>();
        //sl.Add(4, "four");
        //sl.Add(3, "three");
        MessageBox.Show(sl.Count.ToString());

Gives "0".

Why do you think that the Count property is inaccurate? Can you give an example of the exact problem you are facing. Alan.

return ( 42 ) ;

The count property can determine whether the list is empty or not if it is 0 so the list is empty
